Together with our best mates Tech Dept. have another Glug & The Tech Off coming up in April. See below for events details, speaker line-up, and check out what happened last time so you can start getting all excited...

The Tech Off has been seen at Cannes Lions, Eurobest Helsinki and DMX Dublin. The team has just got back from SXSW where they hosted four events, including a Street Fight and the closing reception party at Great Britain House. Be prepared to be entertained and appalled by these guys – as well as informed by our great speakers, who have only 5 minutes each!

Well, on the 19th of April we're basically bringing Team Glug and Team Tech Off to Cargo, Shoreditch for a night focussed on creativity, technology, opinions, battles, wigs, confetti and boxers... As well as new ideas, industry tips, beers and banter.

On the night we'll be hearing from no one less than the reigning maestro-super-winner Sam Applebee (Kickpush) as well as Sara Gozalo (Youtube), Toby Gunton (Edelman), Adrian Brown (Centre for Public Impact), Helen Lawrence (Twitter), Cathy White (Cew Communications / GeekGirl Meetup UK) and William Harvey (VCCP).
As per always when we're at Cargo we've got a beer included in the price, and we expect the tickets to run out quickly so make sure you get in before it's too late.

– What happened last time, then?

Well, a lot! We've done a little re-cap here: Glug & The Tech Off – Round 1. As well as an epic video which you can check out by clicking on the below image, or simply just click here.

In true The Tech Off spirit we're going to head hunt someone in the crowd on the night to take on the stage. So, if you're feeling up for it – make sure to give us a nudge in the beginning of night :-) The talk can be on anything relating to Creative Tech – so get your thinking caps on, Gluggers!

Waheey, roll on the good times!
Let us know if you've got any questions, otherwise we'll see you all there.

Cheers!
